Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of standard equipment	No plug-in hybrid or diesel
Sharp, coupe-like styling	Very small boot
Five-star rating from the safety experts at Euro NCAP	High running costs

Quick Summary

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018-2020) aims to stand out in a crowded compact SUV market with its sporty, coupé-like styling, referencing the original Mitsubishi Eclipse. While not delivering a truly sporty drive, it offers competent on-road performance, though it lags behind class leaders in dynamic ability and practicality. Its main appeal lies in keen pricing and generous equipment levels, especially as a used car, with Mitsubishi continuing aftersales support despite ending new car sales in the UK.

From the driver's seat, the Eclipse Cross offers neat handling with sharp steering and controlled body movements, though the low-speed ride can be firm. It comes with a single 161bhp 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine, which is quiet at speed but lacks the punch of a diesel. The interior boasts an upmarket feel and high standard equipment, including a 7.0-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (no built-in sat nav). However, running costs are relatively high compared to rivals due to the lack of diesel or hybrid options and modest fuel economy figures of 32.5-37.7mpg.

Best for: Drivers prioritising distinctive styling, generous standard equipment, a reliable brand reputation, and those buying on the used market seeking value and aftersales support.

Not ideal for: Buyers who need ample boot space, a truly sporty driving experience, diverse engine options (especially diesel or hybrid), or class-leading fuel economy.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Eclipse Cross if: You prioritise distinctive styling, generous standard equipment, a reliable brand reputation, or are seeking value in the used market with continued aftersales support.

Consider alternatives if: You need ample boot space, a truly sporty driving experience, diverse engine options (especially diesel or hybrid), or class-leading fuel economy.

Competitive Position: The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018-2020) offers a uniquely styled compact SUV with a strong list of standard features and Mitsubishi's reputation for reliability. While it falls short on practicality (especially boot space), driving dynamics, and fuel efficiency compared to some rivals, its value proposition on the used market and ongoing aftersales care make it a contender for those seeking a distinctive and well-equipped crossover, though alternatives might suit buyers with different priorities better.
